Chanson ( means 'song' in French) comes with a hydraulic long swing keel, an almost-new 9.9 hp Yamaha (only 10 hrs), inflatable dinghy with 2.5hp Suzuki, and a galvanised steel registered trailer with a RWC. Both outboards are 4-strokes; the Yamaha has not been used since its 10-hour service. Inflatable hangs from aft davits.
The boat comes with No 1, No 2, main and spinnaker and can be sailed single-handed. A new, unused Autohelm 1000 is included, as well as a Lowrance Hook Reveal 9" plotter with sounder. Solar panels, 100 ah deep cycle battery with solar controller, and a small fridge/freezer. Both am/fm and VHF radios, and an EPIRB. Approx. 4 cu ft icebox, and approx. 80 litre fresh water bladder.
The trailer has all new wobble rollers, excellent tyres, and bearing-buddies on all wheels.
As you can see, the boat is well set up for cruising, and only health forces a reluctant sale.
